Reliable home phone service in Amarillo, TX that doesn't require internet
Traditional copper wire (POTS) landline service is not available in Amarillo, TX. Community Phone allows you to keep your landline phone without internet or copper wire.
In fact, Community Phone is the only landline phone service in Amarillo, TX that does not require internet. Other service providers such as Spectrum, AT&T, and Verizon require an internet connection or a bundle package with cable or internet.
According to survey results from Pew Research, "25% of people 65+ report never going online". That means that 6,898 seniors in Amarillo don't want their primary phone service tied to their internet, even if they do have internet.
Community Phone works by connecting the landline phones of Amarillo residents to cell towers. And Amarillo is well-covered by cell towers; there are several cell towers in Amarillo, covering 99 square miles. Cell towers have excellent coverage within a 5-mile radius, so there are plenty of cell towers in Amarillo to provide strong coverage across the city. Community Phone serves every inch of Amarillo, not just the most populated zip codes like 79109, 79107, 79106.
Landline phone service usage in Amarillo is alive and well. Nearly 2/3rds of people over the age of 65 still use a landline. 13.8% of Amarillo's 199,935 people are over the age of 65, which means about 17,934 senior citizens in The Yellow Rose of Texas still use landlines. Additionally, according to recent Pew Research data, 20% of seniors don't have any cell phone at all, meaning that 5,518 Amarilloans completely rely on landlines for their phone service.
Many landline alternatives require internet, but that's not an option for many Amarilloans. 16.9% of Amarillo's 76,778 households do not have the internet at all, which means 12,975 households can't use internet-based landline service.
